RIGHT UP FRONT
CHINA ... UNIQUELY. Attorney, traveler, and entrepreneur S. Edward Oren-stein recently spent several weeks touring mainland China. But instead of the usual V.I.P. banquet-and-fancyhotel excursion, Orenstein chose to visit schools, factories, farms, communes, homes, and small villages, as well as the big cities. It was an unforgettable experience. Orenstein believes we underestimate China as a phenomenal market for American products; he feels that we should look at China as a business and cultural frontier. His observations on the average Chinese and how he lives, works, and plays may surprise you. The stirrings of this mighty dragon may even frighten you. One thing is certain: China will play an increasingly important role on the stages of world politics and economics.
DEADLY DEALS. The entire nation went to war during World War II—if you don't remember it, you certainly know about the heroic efforts not only on battle lines around the world, but also about the incredible effort of those Americans who stayed on these shores. Everybody united in one common cause, correct? Not quite. When money talks, patriotism and sacrifice have a way of walking out the door. Some of our largest corporations—Standard Oil and Chase Manhattan Bank, to name just two—not only dealt with our ideological enemies before we entered the war, but kept right on dealing with them even after we entered the war and they became our literal enemies. The incontrovertibly documented case is all laid out in Charles Higham's Trading with the Enemy, a new best-seller from Delacorte Press which we excerpt in this isstt€. Higham may be familiar to you. He came to fame when he disclosed some discoveries found while researching his biography, Errol Flynn—that
Flynn not only sympathized with Nazism, but actually palled around with American Nazi agents in this country. Higham finished that book, followed up more leads, and found enough for Trading. More than enough.
THE WRIGHT STORY. Please don't think we ran Peter Meinké s "The Salon de the Sea" because it gave us an excuse to use Gallery 'New American Woman' Michelle Wright in the photo-illustration. We ran the short story because it's splendid. Meinke recently won an O'Henry Award for publishing one of the best stories in America during 1982, and we're betting he's got a good chance with this one for this year. And we used Michelle in the artwork because she's splendid, too.
SEVEN-DAY WONDER. We're talking to you, fella. And we're talking about seducing the woman you've been wanting to seduce. It'll take some effort—but not that much time, all in all. Doctor Russ A. Rueger claims it should only take a week, if you apply yourself and follow his instructions. Who says nobody listens to doctors?
SUN, SAND, GIRLS, SUN, SAND, GIRLS.... Those are pretty magical words, aren't they? They apply to the magical places we report on this month in "The World's Most Sensual Beaches ... and Sensuous Women." Printed words convey some information, but so do, certainly, printed images—that's why we've published the pictures of so many gorgeous women, the regulars of the beaches we're talking about. And don't miss the box on the best nude beaches in the United States. It'll give you some ideas on where to spend your summer vacation. But watch out for sunburn. Till next month...
